Anti-government protests in Iran, which began on December 28, 2025, have expanded into one of the largest waves of public unrest the country has seen in decades, mobilizing thousands of demonstrators across multiple cities nationwide.
Initially triggered by the collapse of the national currency, soaring inflation, and worsening economic conditions, the demonstrations have rapidly evolved into broader demands for political change and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic’s ruling system.
According to reports, protesters have openly chanted slogans such as “Death to the dictator,” directly targeting the regime’s leadership and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iranian authorities have deployed significant security forces in an effort to suppress the uprising, signaling growing concern within the regime over the scale and persistence of the protests.
The unfolding unrest reflects deep-rooted public frustration with economic mismanagement, political repression, and the lack of basic freedoms, as tensions continue to escalate across the country.
